Chapter 9: Conflict
Having attention on your person is great but not when you're carrying an unknown person out in public.
As Aiden carried the unconscious Estrielle, all eyes in the crowd locked on to him, like cameras. Their gaze followed him closely, all of them focused on the shocking sight of a famous boy bearing a certain blonde girl who was unknown.
Aiden(💭): " What the hell are they looking at? "
He said to himself, obviously embarrassed by the situation he chose to bring himself in.
???: " Isn't that boy's father the founder of 'Syrch Corporate'? "
???: " Yeah, kinda. He resembles his father a little bit but he looks more like his mother.
Aiden, still carrying Estrielle towards the exit of the mall, with his arm wrapped around her shoulder and her arm on top his.
A sea of the people's whispers followed in his wake as he was silently hearing. The sound of their voices, though muted, made it clear that they were talking about him. Aiden grew disgusted as he overheard their whispering about his resemblance to his mother.
Aiden(💭): " ... What a bunch of ignorant fucks. "
The boy grit his teeth in anger, fuming. Aiden's grip on Estrielle's wrist tightened.
He was growing more annoyed than ever as the people continued and their ignorant whispers did not stop echoing in his mind. It still triggered something inside his head.
???: " I never knew Walker's son would associatiate with such lowlives. "
???: " Agreed, that blonde haired girl was probably wasted from the alcohol she consumed during her time at a gathering. "
???: " I wouldn't be surprised if the next day, she would be announced as Walker's future daughter-in-law. "
???: " I sure won't be surprised if they already are or have something planned. You know how these famous people go when something goes unplanned. They always hide something from the public. "
???: " You think she's..? "
???: " Exactly. "
The whispers continued, judging their every move they make, like eyes of a predator, waiting for its prey to make a mistake to go off and on about how they made such a stupid mistake in the first place.
